Gio Bella Bathroomware, Also Sold as Gio and Gio Plumbing
Gio Bella is the broadest single brand on this site: 568 active products across 46 categories, covering tapware, showering, wastes, vanities and accessories. The same range reaches us under two supplier names, Gio Bella Imports Jhb on 297 products and Gio Plumbing on 271, which is why you will hear it called Gio, Gio Bella and Gio Plumbing. It is one range, listed here in full.
Accessories Are the Largest Part of the Range
195 of the products are bathroom accessories. Inside that sit 48 soap dishes, dispensers and baskets, 33 towel rails, and 31 paper holders, plus towel rings, robe hooks, glass shelves and toilet brush holders.
Taps, Showering and Wastes
There are 57 taps and mixers, covering short and tall basin mixers, freestanding bath mixers and kitchen mixers. Showering runs to 36 shower heads, round and square roses from 100mm to 300mm, several in stainless steel, plus shower arms, hand showers and hoses. Behind the wall, 98 plumbing and waste items cover basin and bath wastes, bottle traps and angle valves, plus 29 shower channels from 250mm to 860mm in tile insert and solid tops.
Ranges and Finishes
252 of the 568 products carry a named range, all Italian town names. Malta is the deepest at 33 items, then Torino at 29, Demola at 24 and Simplicity at 18, with Fiorano, Genova, Roma, Trapani, Rieti, Verona, Como and San Marco behind them. The rest is sold as individual pieces. On finish, black is by far the widest at 81 products, ahead of white, chrome, stainless steel, brushed nickel, gold and gunmetal.
The 26 vanity sets come as cabinet and basin together in widths from 460mm to 1200mm, and the 13 toilet pans, wall hung and close couple, each carry a soft close seat. Gio Bella is on display at our Kramerville showroom in Johannesburg.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Gio Bella also sold as Gio Plumbing?
Both names sit on the same range. Of the 568 Gio products we list, 297 come through with the supplier name Gio Bella Imports Jhb and 271 with Gio Plumbing, so a plumber quoting you may call it Gio Plumbing while a showroom calls it Gio Bella. Shortened to just Gio is common too. We hold both under one brand page, so whichever name you were given, you are looking at the right catalogue.
Which finishes does the Gio range come in?
Black is the dominant finish by a distance, on 81 of the 568 products, and it is the only one with enough depth to fit out a whole bathroom in one look. After that comes white on 23, chrome on 17, stainless steel on 12, brushed nickel on 10, gold on 10 and gunmetal on 7. Finish is stated in each product title, so check the piece rather than assuming a range runs in every colour.
Do the Gio Bella ranges coordinate with each other?
Within a named range, yes. A range such as Torino or Fiorano runs one shape across several product types, so paper holders, towel rings, glass shelves and robe hooks match. Malta is the deepest at 33 items, Torino 29, Demola 24 and Simplicity 18. Only 252 of the 568 products carry a range name at all, though, so the remainder are individual pieces and should be matched on shape and finish by eye.
What toilets does Gio make, and are they rimless?
There are 13 Gio pans, seven wall hung and six close couple, and every one of them is listed with a soft close seat. All but one state rimless in the title, which means there is no rim channel around the bowl to clean out. Named pans include Braga, Alvito, Sintra, Evora, Lagos, Tavira and Lido. Wall hung pans need a concealed cistern and frame, which is bought separately.
Can I see the Gio Bella range before I order?
Yes. Gio Bella is on display at the Bella Bathrooms showroom in Kramerville, Johannesburg, alongside the imported brands, so you can compare it against the premium ranges side by side before committing. That is worth doing on finish above all: black and gunmetal in particular photograph differently to how they read under real bathroom lighting, and accessories are hard to judge on size from a listing.
